Reviews for Proctofoam

For Hemorrhoids"Have had hemorrhoids for over 40 years, since first pregnancy. Tried all kinds of OTC products that never worked. Once I found Proctofoam, the burning, itching, & swelling was relieved within 10 minutes of application. Only several applications necessary for very long-term results (months to years). I won't use anything else. Insurance covered it years ago, then I couldn't find it any longer in California pharmacies. If anyone knows where to currently (2/2017) get it. Give me a shout"

For Hemorrhoids"After a week of suffering constant pain, itching and burning, I finally made a doctor appointment and he prescribed this. Went from constant pain to practically pain free within about 10 minutes! I can't say enough good about this product. I just wish I had gone to the doctor earlier in the week!"

For Hemorrhoids"I have suffered from hemorrhoids/piles for many years. Have tried all the over the counter stuff (prep-h and even herbals like Pilex) - all did very little. New doc had me try proctofoam hc for a pretty serious flair up. Within one day major progress. This stuff really works. I highly recommend it (plus a high fiber diet)."

For Hemorrhoids"BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED! The very next day my internal and external hemmorhoids dwindled down to nothing. I couldn't believe that after only TWO uses I saw such quick results! Crazy expensive though, 162$ "

For Hemorrhoids"The Proctofoam works great for immediate relief, however you'll likely need to use it repeatedly. My husband struggled in misery and pain for years, so in addition I gave him White Oak Bark and within a half of bottle it had healed his Hemorrhoid issues. He never suffered from them again. I'd suggest both."

For Hemorrhoids"I am in my third trimester and the hemorrhoids have been horrible I was in bed for a week and tried ever OTC cream plus home remedies. My OB proscribed me proctofoam and it's been a life saver. The only thing that has worked."

For Hemorrhoids"I have had a bad case of hemorrhoids for 6 months now and have tried everything otc, even a few trips to the ER! I finally was referred to a general surgeon who said while yes I have some hemorrhoids, I also have an anal fissure. He prescribed Proctofoam and so far so good! No pain, no bleeding! My insurance did not cover this and I had to pay $135, but it has been worth it! When I go back to the Dr in 10 days, I will update my review and rating!"

For Hemorrhoids"Proctofoam is the best thing that has happen to me. I had to visit the ER 10 yrs ago with hemorrhoids that bleed for 3 days. That's when I was introduced to it and we have been together ever since. Fabulous medication. Wish it was around before my grandma died."

For Hemorrhoids"I'm 56 healthy no other meds, been on proctoform for several year. Only 2 refills a year started out at $101 then $125 today it was $135 dollars insurance want cover it, shame on Blue Cross and Blue Shield. I don't use a full dose, it works pretty quick! If your not careful with the adapter you will waste a half dose. Last year my Gastrointernologist said everything looks good during my Colonoscopy, I received a 10 Year Certificate. Lol"

For Hemorrhoids"I'm in my early 30's and I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for 3 years now. I have had multiple flares with a few visits to the ER. I have used few hemorrhoid medications and nothing has helped as much as Proctofoam. I feel the pressure go down, itchiness and size of the veins shrink within minutes. I highly recommend it. Thumbs up."

For Hemorrhoids"This is the ONLY thing that works when I have a bad flare up of my hemorrhoids. When I first began to use it about 10 years ago, my insurance covered it with a minimal co-pay. Then a couple of years ago, the co-pay went up to $80! Now, my new insurance does not cover at all, and the retail price is $150. I have tried EVERYTHING and have minimal relief - this is the ONLY thing which works effectively for me. I am very disappointed that it remains so expensive as I am now a senior citizen and can no longer afford it when I need it the most!!"

"I have been suffering from a servere case of radiation proctitis which was caused by damage from radiation treatment for prostate cancer. For 5 years I have had almost constant rectal pain during or after bowel movements. Finally my doctor prescribed Proctofoam. All I can say is WOW...This is simply amazing. I apply it to a cotton ball and stick it at the bottom, this way the effects lasts for over 8 hours. The instructions says use it up to 5 times per day."

For Hemorrhoids"I have tried every piles cream there is going. Finally went to see my GP and was prescribed this foam. What can I say,....WOW! It actually works! The piles went down overnight and after a few days are almost gone!
This should be available over the counter!"

For Hemorrhoids"It seemed to work at first, and ended up getting a refill and using it for almost a month, but it's been a couple weeks since my refill ran out and I have blood on the toilet paper again... Maybe it's my own fault for not eating enough fiber while I was using Proctofoam, but still it's frustrating."

For Hemorrhoids"It works amazingly at times and the effects are almost immediate - the swelling disappears and the deformed mass of swollen veins around the anus retracts. However majority of the times I have to sit for a while and apply external pressure for the swelling to subside. I also use a Lidocaine based Indian cream called Hadensa to soothe the exposed areas as I have Grade 4 hemorrhoids."

For Hemorrhoids"I suffered for three weeks and tried every OTC medication and most home remedies to no avail. I got this product today and the instant I applied this "WONDER" medication relieved all pain. I'm hoping that it will save me the surgery to correct the problem. This product should be made available to the public over the counter. I strongly suggest that everyone save their money and just visit the Dr. and ask for this product...IT WORKS!"

For Hemorrhoids"I am in the same situation as above. This is my fifth day of having hemorrhoids and have used ALL the over the counter medicines. Proctofoam seems like it helps more. This is my first day of use, so hopefully the swelling subsides soon. Definitely better though."

For Hemorrhoids"This is a great product. I have run the whole course of home cures, doctor visits, constant pain in the A** all this year. My latest Doctor prescribed ProctoFoam and 1st use was a God Send. Relief was instant. Burning, itch and pain faded away. Slept so good."

For Hemorrhoids"Excellent - comfortable to use, soothing on use of product, unlike others, as the foam soften and lubricates the insertion, my problems were healed much more quickly using this treatment than any other. If you suffer you know what agony it can be yet this treatment has worked wonders."
